Random testing for hardware was first examined by [[Melvin Breuer]] in 1971 and initial effort to evaluate its effectiveness was done by Pratima and [[Vishwani Agrawal]] in 1975.<ref>[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=1672882&tag=1 Agrawal, P.; Agrawal, V.D., "Probabilistic Analysis of Random Test Generation Method for Irredundant Combinational Logic Networks," Computers, IEEE Transactions on , vol.C-24, no.7, pp.691,695, July 1975]</ref>

In software Duran and Ntafos had examined random testing in 1984.<ref>[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=5010257 Duran, J. and S.
